What is this bug?!?!?!?
Dear What’s That Bug:
I found this bug in my bathroom. Is it some sort of centipede or millipede? I couldn’t find a picture of it on the web. I tried to kill it but it wouldn’t die. Mean, huh? Its legs moved in waves. We live in Iowa. I have never seen this before – do you know?
Thanks for being on the web – great site!

Hi Brea,
You have a centipede. They do contain poison glands and some species, especially the large centipedes from Texas and Oklahoma, can give a painful bite.

Might want to be careful the next time you go to bed!!!!
If you find one again kill it, they can kill a full grown dog or small child.
I suspect a Minecraft related hoax as in:

but I’d be delighted to be proven wrong.
I have found several of these around my hose are they the same younger version or something different? It’s only 2-3 inches long and the but spicks things vary from yellowish to black
